Fun! Dress for it. Show up early and try some food! This place was fun! My first time tubing and I really enjoyed the setup they had. We got there about 30 min after they opened for the day and there was already a waitlist of about an hour, so best to show up a little early and get your name on the list for a time. Loved the lodge area and the food available inside. Loved that they had vegan hot cocoa! The tubing itself was really fun for a first- timer but I assume also just as fun for a seasoned tuber. πŸ˜‰ 2 hrs for $17/person felt like a good balance of time and value if you and a couple adult friends are going. I don't know kid prices but could see that getting expensive for a family. Really liked that they had a pulley system to get you up the hill and you only had a short walk from the bottom of the hill to the pulley. They had people who would hook up your tube for you to ride it back up the hill. Made for a really fun winter afternoon. πŸ‘

Tubing is in the farthest parking lot, and if you don't pre-order or reserve spots, you could wait hours. We'll groomed runs and great staff.

Diligently checked the website for the right date and hours of operation - make the long drive with two kids in tow, and .... Tubing hill CLOSED for private event. Rude staff showed zero flexibility, refused to let them even play on the kiddie hill. Meanwhile piles of unused tubes and hardly anybody on the hill. Apparently rope tow was broken too, not that we would've cared. They ruined the kids day, they had been so excited, very frustrating. Awful people, terrible experience.

Absolutely the worst snowboarding experience I've had. Do not go here to snowboard, you will waste money and be disappointed. Their park consists of 6 or 7 rails/boxes crammed together on about a 100-foot, very steep run. There is no space to set up for hitting the rails and no space for stopping in between. For what the park has, $14 was a lot to pay. I would not recommend it to anyone, not even beginners.

Skied the bridge trail today and very disappointed that there were not any tracks groomed for classic skiers. It’s a busy holiday and plenty of skiers but cannot understand why they could not even attempt tracks for classic skiers. If you are going to make us pay please provide tracks and a reason to come back.
